Common Cause/Minnesota, a local branch of the national organization Common Cause (U.S.), acts as a citizen lobby group and a watch dog on issues of government responsibility, accountability and disclosure. The group advocates for "Sunshine laws" intended to "open up the system" to public scrutiny and "Sunset legislation" that "instigates mechanisms for periodic review and assessment to determine that current legislation is serving its intended public purpose."
